I believe that the attributes and laws that govern the physical universe parallel those of the spiritual world.  We can gain insight into how the spiritual realm works by observing the physical realm.  God, who is in the spirit realm, spoke the entire physical universe into existence.  Hebrew 11:3 tells us that the worlds were “framed” by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

In physics there is something called the electron quantum leap. I am not a physicist but it is my understanding that as energy is added an electron is forced to a higher orbit.  This jump to a higher orbit is not a gradual movement towards a higher orbit but a sudden jump.  One moment it is in one orbit, the next moment it is suddenly in a higher orbit.

This got me thinking about faith and prayer.  It encouraged me in light of the fact that the laws of the physical universe reflects the laws of the spiritual.  That is why we can be praying in faith for something in our life to change but see no change.  Hebrew 6:12 tells us that we obtain the promises through faith and patience.  Its comforting to know that just because we don’t see any change in our situation that this does not mean that change is not occurring.  The promise from the scripture is that we will obtain what we are praying for through faith and patience.  Do not be looking for incremental change and movement toward our outcome.  Our desire will be fulfilled and our situation will change as suddenly as the electron jumps to the next orbit.
